"Don't worry, I've used great tonics. Nourishing Yin nourishes the kidney, strengthening the yang, strengthening the meridians, and strengthening the bones. They will only be beneficial to the body and will not harm it." Sun Lingzhi quickly explained.
However, it was better not to explain. Once he did, Liu Wei An became even more worried. Ignoring her, he quickly focused his mind to check his body. He didn't get hung on the enemy's sword, and instead was accidentally poisoned to death by the All Aspect Nourishment Soup.
After the golden juice entered his stomach, it started to turn into hot air, like a headless fly scurrying around. At this time, the star map in the depths of Liu Wei An's mind lit up, and began to operate on its own, absorbing the medicinal properties of the golden juice. Liu Wei An was surprised. Half an hour later, he opened his eyes. His strength had improved. He had advanced from the early iron-level to the intermediate iron-level.
"Don't chase after a desperate enemy."
"Yes, miss." One of the guards spurred his horse to the side of the horse carriage and said with shame, "Three of them escaped, the rest took poison and committed suicide. No one survived and no identities were found. This subordinate did not do well. I beg for punishment."
"Yes, miss." The guards retreated back into the line.
"This is the life of a noble. There are countless assassinations every day, and sometimes you can't even survive at home. What's more frustrating is that many times you don't even know who the enemy is and why you want to kill yourself." Sun Lingzhi sighed as she smiled helplessly.
Liu Wei An was silent. From Sun Lingzhi's performance, it could be seen that she had been through a lot and was already used to being numb to it, so she wouldn't care. If it was him, being assassinated for no reason would make him fly into a rage.
"Perhaps, if you want to obtain something, you will have to lose something."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's a disappointment. However, you have to be mentally prepared. There's still about an hour before you can reach Yellow Sand City. This journey is not peaceful." Sun Lingzhi looked at Liu Wei An with interest.
"How is it not peaceful?" Liu Wei An asked.
"You'll know in a moment." Sun Lingzhi mysteriously smiled, "Do you know why I participated in this auction?"
"Aren't we going to buy something?" Liu Wei An looked at her strangely. Wasn't this obvious?
"Ugh …" "You're right." Sun Lingzhi stared at him in silence for a long time. Finally, she dispiritedly said, "The auction is held every month. Don't tell me that I have to go there every month?"
Sun Lingzhi did not wait for Liu Wei An's answer and continued, "This time, there will be an extremely rare five-colored lotus seed, five-colored lotus seed. The result will be five hundred years old, and after each result, there will be nine lotus seed, each with a different effect. Tonight, this lotus seed will be able to cure all poisons, whether it be concocting or nurturing, we cannot afford to miss out on it.
"What does this have to do with me going?" Liu Wei An suddenly thought of this question.
"Originally, it was my brother who accompanied me. However, he had matters to attend to at the moment." Sun Lingzhi was very smart. She could immediately guess what Liu Wei An was thinking from his expression. She looked at him pitifully. "I don't have many friends in Stone City, so I thought of you. You can't be regretting it now, right?"
"You have no friends in Stone City?" Liu Wei An obviously didn't believe him. He often met some elegant young men with flowers in the medicine store of the 'undead doctor' who were waiting for him.
"I do have a lot of friends, but what should I say?" Sun Lingzhi pondered for a moment before speaking in a more popular phrase, "Among these people, I don't think you're annoying, right? So, are you satisfied?"
"Maybe it's because I'm not a noble that I'm new." Liu Wei An's heart was filled with sweetness, but his face was full of indifference.
Sun Lingzhi's beautiful eyes swept across him, but she didn't say anything.
They encountered three groups of robbers in succession. The last group had a large number of robbers, a total of five to six hundred people, and they almost rushed to the front of the carriage. It was at this time that Liu Wei An discovered that the unassuming driver was actually an expert hidden away in the shadows. With two casual slaps, the bandit was sent flying. He fell more than ten meters away with his horse and his horse, unable to get back up.
Among the robbers, there were five who were in charge, the coachman, the Grandpa Liu that Sun Lingzhi had spoken of, and after five strikes, the remaining five robbers were scared out of their wits, turned around and ran, coming and leaving faster, disappearing in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the crossbow shooting nearly a hundred corpses of hedgehogs on the ground, as well as the red ground, they would have thought that it was just an illusion.
With the bow in hand, Liu Wei An had no chance to shoot. He still knew how to shoot people and capture the king. However, every time he aimed at a bandit leader, the bandit leader would be killed by Grandpa Liu's punch. Only when the last person was sent flying, did he finally lose his target.
"Grandpa Liu is a Gold rank expert." Seeing the look of loss on Liu Wei An's face, Sun Lingzhi said softly. Liu Wei An trembled and fell silent.
This was the power of aristocrats. Dozens of guards followed them outside, and even the coachman was a gold-rank expert. At the same age, the difference in status was like the difference between heaven and earth. This was reality.
Half an hour later, a tall city appeared before them. They had arrived at Yellow Sand City.
In front of the ancient city was a desert, and because of the water source, it gathered people and formed a tribe. But later on, for some unknown reason, it became deserted.
From the window of the carriage, he could see that the city wall was about ten meters tall, and was made from hundreds of kilograms of big stones. Then he filled the gaps with sheep blood, cow blood, and glutinous rice juice, causing the city wall to become extremely hard.
Liu Wei An finally understood why the members of the big families looked like country bumpkins when they came to Stone City. The difference between Stone City and Yellow Sand City was just too great. Stone City didn't even have a gate, so it was easy going in and out. How did it look like the two big iron gates of Yellow Sand City?
Two bright-armored soldiers were maintaining order. Under the city gates, there was a long line of people entering the city. They actually had to pay taxes. Two copper coins were used to drive an ox-cart.
It was around 10: 30 in the morning. If they were in Stone City, they would not be able to see a single ghost at this time. However, it was as if they were in a city without night.
When the gatekeeper of the city saw the "Sun" on the lantern hanging from Sun Lingzhi's carriage, he immediately let her pass. Not to mention paying taxes, he didn't even use the queue. He let Liu Wei An experience the power of a noble once again. No matter where he went, he would enjoy special privileges.
"Yellow Sand City is the Liu Clan's property." Sun Lingzhi suddenly said. Liu Wei An was surprised for a moment. What does the fact that the Huangsha City belongs to the Liu family have to do with me? Could it be that my surname is also Liu? When she looked at Sun Lingzhi, she had already turned her head towards the window.
The streets were filled with people, the shops on both sides were brightly lit and crowded, a bustling scene was taking place, carriages were rumbling along the street, the luxury of the carriage of the Sun family could be seen from time to time, Liu Wei An even saw a carriage with lions as animal power, two lions were magnificent and with a low growl, it sounded like a clap of thunder on the ground, scaring the other horses so much that they almost jumped up. The crowd was thrown into chaos. Many people with violent tempers were about to curse out loud, but after seeing whose carriage it was, they immediately shut their mouths.
On the carriage hung a lantern with the word 'Liu' written on it. The calligraphy was bold and vigorous, and it seemed as if a dragon and a phoenix were flying in the sky.
In Yellow Sand City, the biggest difference between Stone City and Yellow Sand City was the number of experts. In there, iron-level experts could be seen everywhere, and there were also quite a few bronze-level experts, and occasionally, a few silver-level experts could be seen. In Stone City, iron-level experts were already considered experts, but there were basically no bronze-level experts at all.
For this reason, it was no wonder that Stone City was called a country bumpkin.
"It's still early. Let's go see a big sister first." Sun Lingzhi said to Liu Wei An. Liu Wei An didn't say anything. He was unfamiliar with this place, so everything could only be arranged by Sun Lingzhi.
"She's a great beauty." Sun Lingzhi smiled evilly when she saw Liu Wei An's expressionless face.
"So what?" Liu Wei An rolled his eyes.
"Let me introduce you. Although your position is a bit low, but you can still be considered a good person. You still have a chance. One must still have dreams. " Sun Lingzhi said in all seriousness.
"If I can't become a Gold rank, how can I build a family?" Liu Wei An said righteously. Judging from Sun Lingzhi's expression, one could tell that her so-called older sister wasn't that great. It was either the Jurassic or the Cretaceous Period.
